Computer implemented networking system and method for creating, sharing and archiving content including the use of a user interface (ui) virtual environment and associated rooms, content prompting tool, content vault, and intelligent template-driven content posting (aka archive and networking platform)

ABSTRACT

A computer implemented networking system and method for content-creating, sharing, and archiving, includes maintaining profiles for a plurality of users each having an account that stores and displays user-authored content posts that are quality controlled, and generating, for each user profile, a virtual structure (e.g. building or house) displayed via a UI, and including a main room and a plurality of sub-rooms each being associated with a respective category, and wherein the main room provides navigation to the sub-rooms. The approach includes generating the user-authored content posts for each of the users via posting templates that prompt a user to input and organize various content based upon the template guidance for the respective category to control the quality of the user-authored content posts. A prompting tool operates within the virtual building for each profile by displaying prompts within each of the sub-rooms and related to the respective category and includes a prioritized list of user tasks.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the field of computer networking, andmore particularly, to systems, software and methods for digitiallycreating, organizing, sharing and archiving content.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A social networking service (also social networking site, or SNS orsocial media) is an online platform which people use to build socialnetworks or social relationship with other people who share similarpersonal or career interests, activities, backgrounds or real-lifeconnections.

A social network is distributed across various computer networks. Socialnetworks are computer networks, linking people, organization, andknowledge. Social networking services vary in format and the number offeatures. They can incorporate a range of new information andcommunication tools, operating on desktops and on laptops, on mobiledevices such as tablet computers and smartphones. They may featuredigital photo/video/sharing and “web logging” diary entries online(blogging). Online community services are sometimes consideredsocial-network services by programmers and users, though in a broadersense, a social-network service usually provides an individual-centeredservice whereas online community services are group-centered. Defined as“websites that facilitate the building of a network of contacts in orderto exchange various types of content online,” social networking sitesprovide a space for interaction to continue beyond in personinteractions. These computer mediated interactions link members ofvarious networks and may help to both maintain and develop new socialties.

Social networking sites allow users to share ideas, digital photos andvideos, posts, and to inform others about online or real-worldactivities and events with people in their network. While in-personsocial networking—such as gathering in a village market to talk aboutevents—has existed since the earliest development of towns, the Webenables people to connect with others who live in different locations,ranging from across a city to across the world. Depending on the socialmedia platform, members may be able to contact any other member. Inother cases, members can contact anyone they have a connection to, andsubsequently anyone that contact has a connection to, and so on. Thesuccess of social networking services can be seen in their dominance insociety today, with Facebook having 2.13 billion active monthly usersand an average of 1.4 billion daily active users in 2017. Linked In, acareer-oriented archive networking service, generally requires that amember personally know another member in real life before they contactthem online. Some services require members to have a preexistingconnection to contact other members.

Posting for the sake of posting is a habit hard to break. Most peopleroutinely upload volumes of images, photos and videos without backgroundstories to add meaning to them. This sort of posting requires nothing ofits viewers other than to press a quick like and move to the next feed.We are all bombarded with online feeds of news, advertising and specialoffers that are superficial at best.

The popularity of de facto websites may be because there are no otherchoices. Users quickly assemble posts without much thought and whatfollows is a bombardment of advertising embedded in the scrolling feedsdemanding the user's time to sort through them. The user receives adaily barrage of uninitiated posts. This excess of information isdesensitizing. Users are sidetracked and satisfaction is left behind.

Other types of private networks or intranets for businesses, educationalinstitutions, or research organizations, for example, are also limitedin the methods for posting, sharing and archiving content.

Accordingly, there may be a need for an alternative to the typicalsocial media network and/or other networking platform that supports andimproves the sharing and archiving of meaningful content.

This background section is intended to introduce the reader to variousaspects of typical technology that may be related to various aspects orembodiments of the present invention, which are described and/or claimedbelow. This discussion is believed to be useful in providing the readerwith background information to facilitate a better understanding of thevarious aspects and embodiments of the present invention. Accordingly,it should be understood that these statements are to be read in lightof, and not as admissions of, the prior art.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The present invention will now be described more fully hereinafter withreference to the accompanying drawings, in which preferred embodimentsof the invention are shown. This invention may, however, be embodied inmany different forms and should not be construed as limited to theembodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided sothat this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fullyconvey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. Those ofordinary skill in the art realize that the following descriptions of theembodiments of the present invention are illustrative and are notintended to be limiting in any way. Other embodiments of the presentinvention will readily suggest themselves to such skilled persons havingthe benefit of this disclosure. Like numbers refer to like elementsthroughout.

Before describing the present disclosure in detail, it is to beunderstood that this disclosure is not limited to parameters of theparticularly exemplified systems, methods, apparatus, products,processes, and/or kits, which may, of course, vary. It is also to beunderstood that the terminology used herein is only for the purpose ofdescribing particular embodiments of the present disclosure and is notnecessarily intended to limit the scope of the disclosure in anyparticular manner. Thus, while the present disclosure will be describedin detail with reference to specific embodiments, features, aspects,configurations, etc., the descriptions are illustrative and are not tobe construed as limiting the scope of the claimed invention. Variousmodifications can be made to the illustrated embodiments, features,aspects, configurations, etc. without departing from the spirit andscope of the invention as defined by the claims. Thus, while variousaspects and embodiments have been disclosed herein, other aspects andembodiments are contemplated.

Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used hereinhave the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill inthe art to which the present disclosure pertains. While a number ofmethods and materials similar or equivalent to those described hereincan be used in the practice of the present disclosure, only certainexemplary materials and methods are described herein.

Various aspects of the present disclosure, including devices, systems,methods, etc., may be illustrated with reference to one or moreexemplary embodiments or implementations. As used herein, the terms“embodiment,” “alternative embodiment” and/or “exemplary implementation”means “serving as an example, instance, or illustration,” and should notnecessarily be construed as preferred or advantageous over otherembodiments or implementations disclosed herein. In addition, referenceto an “implementation” of the present disclosure or invention includes aspecific reference to one or more embodiments thereof, and vice versa,and is intended to provide illustrative examples without limiting thescope of the invention, which is indicated by the appended claims ratherthan by the following description.

It will be noted that, as used in this specification and the appendedclaims, the singular forms “a,” “an” and “the” include plural referentsunless the content clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example,reference to a “sensor” includes one, two, or more sensors.

As used throughout this application the words “can” and “may” are usedin a permissive sense (i.e., meaning having the potential to), ratherthan the mandatory sense (i.e., meaning must). Additionally, the terms“including,” “having,” “involving,” “containing,” “characterized by,”variants thereof (e.g., “includes,” “has,” and “involves,” “contains,”etc.), and similar terms as used herein, including the claims, shall beinclusive and/or open-ended, shall have the same meaning as the word“comprising” and variants thereof (e.g., “comprise” and “comprises”),and do not exclude additional, un-recited elements or method steps,illustratively.

Various aspects of the present disclosure can be illustrated bydescribing components that are coupled, attached, connected, and/orjoined together. As used herein, the terms “coupled”, “attached”,“connected,” and/or “joined” are used to indicate either a directconnection between two components or, where appropriate, an indirectconnection to one another through intervening or intermediatecomponents. In contrast, when a component is referred to as being“directly coupled”, “directly attached”, “directly connected,” and/or“directly joined” to another component, no intervening elements arepresent or contemplated. Thus, as used herein, the terms “connection,”“connected,” and the like do not necessarily imply direct contactbetween the two or more elements. In addition, components that arecoupled, attached, connected, and/or joined together are not necessarily(reversibly or permanently) secured to one another. For instance,coupling, attaching, connecting, and/or joining can comprise placing,positioning, and/or disposing the components together or otherwiseadjacent in some implementations.

As used herein, directional and/or arbitrary terms, such as “top,”“bottom,” “front,” “back,” “left,” “right,” “up,” “down,” “upper,”“lower,” “inner,” “outer,” “internal,” “external,” “interior,”“exterior,” “proximal,” “distal” and the like can be used solely toindicate relative directions and/or orientations and may not otherwisebe intended to limit the scope of the disclosure, including thespecification, invention, and/or claims.

Where possible, like numbering of elements have been used in variousfigures. In addition, similar elements and/or elements having similarfunctions may be designated by similar numbering (e.g., element “10” andelement “210.”) Furthermore, alternative configurations of a particularelement may each include separate letters appended to the elementnumber. Accordingly, an appended letter can be used to designate analternative design, structure, function, implementation, and/orembodiment of an element or feature without an appended letter.Similarly, multiple instances of an element and or sub-elements of aparent element may each include separate letters appended to the elementnumber. In each case, the element label may be used without an appendedletter to generally refer to instances of the element or any one of thealternative elements. Element labels including an appended letter can beused to refer to a specific instance of the element or to distinguish ordraw attention to multiple uses of the element. However, element labelsincluding an appended letter are not meant to be limited to the specificand/or particular embodiment(s) in which they are illustrated. In otherwords, reference to a specific feature in relation to one embodimentshould not be construed as being limited to applications only withinsaid embodiment.

It will also be appreciated that where a range of values (e.g., lessthan, greater than, at least, and/or up to a certain value, and/orbetween two recited values) is disclosed or recited, any specific valueor range of values falling within the disclosed range of values islikewise disclosed and contemplated herein.

It is also noted that systems, methods, apparatus, devices, products,processes, compositions, and/or kits, etc., according to certainembodiments of the present invention may include, incorporate, orotherwise comprise properties, features, aspects, steps, components,members, and/or elements described in other embodiments disclosed and/ordescribed herein. Thus, reference to a specific feature, aspect, steps,component, member, element, etc. in relation to one embodiment shouldnot be construed as being limited to applications only within saidembodiment. In addition, reference to a specific benefit, advantage,problem, solution, method of use, etc. in relation to one embodimentshould not be construed as being limited to applications only withinsaid embodiment.

The headings used herein are for organizational purposes only and arenot meant to be used to limit the scope of the description or theclaims. To facilitate understanding, like reference numerals have beenused, where possible, to designate like elements common to the figures.

User Interfaces

The description herein may refer to “desktops” for ease of discussion.Desktops are a graphical user interface (GUI) that provide the virtualenvironment and the virtual reality. A desktop environment typicallyconsists of icons, windows, toolbars, folders, wallpapers and desktopwidgets, all presented within a very familiar room or place. A GUI mightalso provide drag and drop functionality and other features that makethe desktop metaphor more complete. A desktop environment aims to be anintuitive way for the user to interact with the computer and networkusing concepts which are similar to those used when interacting with thephysical world, such as moving between rooms, walking out to the garage,leaving the house to go ‘outside’, and sitting at a desk to create, toname a few.

A user interface (UI) is the space where interactions between humans andmachines occur. The goal of this interaction is to allow effectiveoperation and control of the machine from the human end, whilst themachine simultaneously feeds back information that aids the operators'decision-making process. Examples of this broad concept of userinterfaces include the interactive aspects of computer operatingsystems.

User interfaces are composed of one or more layers, including ahuman-machine interface (HMI) that interfaces machines with physicalinput hardware such as keyboards, mice, or game pads, and outputhardware such as computer monitors, speakers, and printers. A devicethat implements an HMI is called a human interface device (HID). Otherterms for human-machine interfaces are man-machine interface (MMI) and,when the machine in question is a computer, human-computer interface.Additional UI layers may interact with one or more human senses,including: tactile UI (touch), visual UI (sight), auditory UI (sound),olfactory UI (smell), equilibrial UI (balance), and gustatory UI(taste).

Composite user interfaces (CUIs) are UIs that interact with two or moresenses. The most common CUI is a graphical user interface (GUI), whichis composed of a tactile UI and a visual UI capable of displayinggraphics. When sound is added to a GUI, it becomes a multimedia userinterface (MUI). There are three broad categories of CUI: standard,virtual and augmented. Standard CUI use standard human interface deviceslike keyboards, mice, and computer monitors. When the CUI blocks out thereal world to create a virtual reality (VR), the CUI is virtual and usesa virtual reality interface. When the CUI does not block out the realworld and creates augmented reality (AR), the CUI is augmented and usesan augmented reality interface.

The embodiments described herein may include the use of one or moretypes of UIs including graphical, holographical, VR and/or AR, forexample.

Introduction

Referring now to FIGS. 1-4 , embodiments of a computer implementednetwork system and method for creating, organizing, sharing andarchiving content in accordance with features of the present inventionwill now be described. The embodiments are directed to a computerimplemented networking system and method for creating, organizing,sharing and archiving content including the use of a graphical userinterface (GUI) virtual building and associated rooms, content promptingtool, content Vault, and intelligent template-driven content creating,posting, and reading.

Although various example embodiments described below may refer to socialmedia networks (e.g., a “Family Archive” Platform or Share-Net, see FIG.3 ) and associated details, other types of private or permissionednetworks (e.g., see FIG. 2 ) for businesses, companies, educationalinstitutions, or research organizations, for example, are alsocontemplated in the present systems and methods for posting, sharing andarchiving content. The names of various features are for ease ofdescription, and other names may be used, as would be appreciated thoseskilled in the art.

Most people's busy lives have little time to share their thoughts andexperiences with all of their friends and loved ones. Not to mention theadditional time required to generate a multimedia post that presents andsays exactly what is intended, in an aesthetically pleasing way. Becausethis is a difficult hurdle to overcome, many find it easier to fall backon the standard practice social media platforms currently offer. TheFamily Archive embodiment offers a new way to efficiently create, shareand preserve content, including tools and templates to guide anddocument meaningful content in a visually pleasing format—resulting inposts comparable to colorful magazine spreads. For users this willstimulate much more desire to share, much more creation and freedom toexpress, stronger connections and relationships and posts thatwant-to-be-shared presently and the option to keep for latergenerations.

The Family Archive may be a permissioned access network or possibly aself-contained intranet, operating on a robust template-based platform.The platform has intelligence (e.g., soft computing, machine learning,learning theory, evolutionary computation, image processing, datamining, natural language processing, fuzzy logic, neural networks, swarmintelligence, Artificial Intelligence, probabilistic methods, etc. andmay be referred to as Wizards) working in the backend that enable a neareffortless learning-to-use for newcomers. Using graphical or VR/ARfeatures, the Family Archive is based on a House theme because it is acommon and familiar place to live, while Rooms named in the House areseparate categories for reading and posting content. A main room, e.g.,the Main Living Room, is the main working space (e.g., desktop) fromwhich to read internal emails, alerts and enter other rooms.

One purpose is to create a platform that prompts users (also referred toas members) to upload and post content about their important currentevents and current goals as well as memorable content from the past. Theresults of their posts will look like well-designed colorful magazinespreads or coffee table book pages.

Family Archive's template rich system is meant for free expression. Thetemplates keep individuals organized with less wondering what to writeabout and say, coaxing more story details thereby guiding members formore on-point description and explanations. Templates are guides thatmake for success in posting content-rich published-looking posts.

Writing topics and suggestions can be made by the system. The systemintelligence draws from member profiles and posts, looking for clues andoffering suggestions for members to consider writing about. Examples ofcross connections include job experience, projects, travel, cities,towns, places, gatherings, church, and accomplishments to name a few.

A reminding and prompting feature or tool may be referred to as “theWishlist” and is a significant part of the Member's experience whilelogged into the Family Archive. The Wishlist is an intuitive promptingfeature reminding members to post content to their desired topics orcategories.

Users of the Family Archive may be in a self-defined community e.g., offamily and friends. The Member's user experience is graphically enhancedand may be a fun environment. Users start by choosing an online-identityknown as the House (i.e., a virtual building). System intelligenceassists in creating colorful rich postings of stories, pictures and lifeevents. Posts in the Family Archive may take a little longer than emptysuperficial fast-paced Social Media sites are currently designed to do.However, the rewarding outcome of a Family Archive post should encourageMembers to keep creating and sharing more content.

The House is located in a local community defined by the member and abroader community made up of all Family Archive members and registeredusers. The House is a member's identity throughout the system. The MainLiving Room UI in the House becomes the main working area from which toreceive Family Hall chat and bulletin alerts, read internal email,search Member's own and master indexes, edit My Community preferences,select Member's Desk for settings and Vault options, post in ShowcaseLiving Rooms, and navigate to other rooms in the House. Rooms areconsidered categories and each room is a separate defined category withunique rule-sets to post and read posts in.

A Member's Main Living Room may contain a graphical Desk, or othervirtual representation, that is the navigation or control point. TheDesk is where a member updates their profile, searches the Index,accesses the Vault and changes Settings. The user experience may providea personalized touch. Members can choose the style of their virtualbuilding or House from an available list of predesigned templates.Modern, Traditional, Asian, Rustic, Brown Stone, East Coast, West Coastare a few examples. They may also choose from a bases of Color Palletsand system Fonts. Post designs may be based on the House theme. Readinganother member's posts may be based on the House theme of that Member.

The virtual building or House, and the Member's Main Room or Main LivingRoom, (e.g. the identity and UI) in the Family Archive is where themembers create posts, open internal email and read other members' posts.The Outside Rooms may be open to members via the world wide web (i.e.,anyone anywhere, after signing up, can read and post in such “outsiderooms”). So, the Family Archive may be divided into two communities: Apersonal secure member defined [family, friends] closed-community withcontrolled access; and a system community organized as ‘outside thehouse’ rooms, where other members can access designated content undercontrolled rulesets.

Each post is initiated via a posting template, that draws from Setupinformation e.g., filled in at the beginning of the Signup process. Itthen will automatically use Prompting Tool information (aka “Wishlist”)to further fill in information, all coordinating in unison with what issubmitted or entered in the Uploading Template. There may be plenty ofuser information already entered for every post being initiated. The wayof creating a post in the Family Archive system, is a progression ofpre-entered information at different times and stages. Much of what theintelligence (e.g. Wizards) is about is to make the process of creatingbeautifully designed posts easy, relevant, and efficient. Theintelligence draws from member profiles and previous posts, and offerssuggestions via the Wishlist for future posts.

Posting templates are tools to help members create excellent posts,created with the aid of system intelligence (e.g., software algorithms,machine learning, AI, etc.). Tick boxes and content fill-ins coaxmembers to add times and dates to the content (e.g., photo) whereappropriate. Essential writing rules may be applied: “Who, what, when,where why and how?” The basic journalistic rules may be built into theposting template in a step-by-step sequence enabling the member toproperly recollect the event to be posted and archived. Postingtemplates are meant to guide members along the creative process with thesatisfying result of producing visually pleasing and interesting posts.

Several of the system's elements coordinate together in the backgroundmaking it easier for members to create posts more efficiently andquickly. Beginning with a member profile, the system (e.g., via theWishlist) interprets some user input to aid suggestions to place in theWishlist. The posting template may work with the Wishlist intelligenceand draw from the user profile, previous posts, member answers to set upquestions, and Upload Template inputs to assist users during thecreation of posts, assuring pertinent information about the post isincluded.

Linking and sharing with others may be a focus of a Family Archivemembership. The saying goes “Every picture tells a story.” This platformtakes that a step further facilitating members to tell stories abouttheir images in their own words. The stories guided by the postingtemplate may be in the form of a well composed description or a longessay. Members wishing to post shorter descriptions may be remindedabout the significance pictures hold for future generations.

Images taken today often end up in a proverbial box for futuregenerations to wonder “Who is that and where are they?” Photos takentoday are mostly with mobile phones. Where will those photos end up ten,twenty, or thirty years in the future, will anyone see them or care? Yesthere will be a date and location on many of them, but no furtherinformation so sorting through thousands of photos will not interestmany people in the future.

Looking at old photos is fun and interesting. The fashions of the time,cars they drove, and the architecture of the buildings all lend to thefascination of admiring times past. Traditionally many familiesthroughout the world have a storage box of old photographs. The imagesare a treasure of ancestral delights, showing relatives in various posesat places unfamiliar. But the photos may be a mystery leaving us withmany questions about who is in them: when were the photos taken, andwhere are the places the images were taken or what was the occasion.

The Family Archive is for people to have easy-to-use and fast tools toshare content including current and past events, experiences,perspective, and memories. The Posting Template includes intelligence tolend a guiding hand to post stories, photos, and videos. Living in thedigital age creates the opportunity to make photographs come alive. WithFamily Archive, rich and meaningful descriptions will accompany images,eliminating any wonder from those looking at them later about “Who isthat and what was the occasion?”

As discussed, the Family Archive may be a permissioned and/or privatenetwork in that it is an independent and secure website content-sharingcommunity. All features, search engines, email client, member contentmay be contained inside the realm of the Family Archive citadel. Thenature of the Family Archive is to be a safe and secure realm for allmember content.

New users or members in this platform may be required to fully registerthrough a multi-step setup process to receive a member ID that willenable access and use of the secure network. Fully registered membersmay be charged a subscription fee, and various memberships levels mayrequire different fees or no fees at all.

With reference to the flowchart in FIG. 1 , the system and method mayinclude various steps or features in any combination. For example, thecreating, sharing and archiving networking system and method mayinclude: maintaining 10 profiles for a plurality of users each having anaccount on the archive and networking system that stores and displaysuser-authored content posts that are quality controlled for each of theusers; generating 12, for each user profile, a virtual building (e.g.House) configured to be displayed via a graphical user interface, andincluding a main room (e.g. Living room) and a plurality of sub-roomsH1-H8 each being associated with a respective category, and wherein themain room provides navigation to the sub-rooms; generating 14 theuser-authored content posts for each of the users via posting templatesthat include template guidance associated with each category for qualitycontrol and are configured to prompt a user to input and organizevarious content, including written text and audio/visual media; andmaintaining 16 a prompting tool (e.g. Wishlist), operating within thevirtual building for each profile by displaying prompts within each ofthe sub-rooms and related to the respective category, and comprising aprioritized list of user tasks including creation of user-authoredcontent posts, completion of incomplete user-authored content posts,and/or reading of posts of other users. In various embodiments,maintaining 16 the prompting tool may include displaying selectableoptions to edit the prioritized list of user tasks by the user.

In various embodiments, the system and method may include maintaining18, in the networking system, a Vault configured to securely storeusers' uploaded content including documents and audio/visual media. Theusers' uploaded content may be securely stored in the Vault and isprivate to only the user and authorized other users. The Vault mayinclude a time-lock component configured to lock a user's designatedpost for future posting to the user's profile based upon at least one ofa date, event and condition. The Vault may include a title-transfercomponent configured to transfer control of a user's profile andassociated virtual building and content to another user based upon atleast one of a date, event and condition. All of these are for use in amember's posts currently being created or not yet created. The Vault mayhave other features besides storage. For example, the Vault includes aUI that may navigate to various features of the Vault such as theUploading Template, Time Lock, Vault Index, Title Transfer, PasswordStorage, Hall of Records, Return to Living Room icon. The Vault index issearchable, it is a list of all of the member's uploaded content that islocated in a content storage section of their vault.

In various embodiments, the method may include maintaining 20, for eachuser profile, a community of other users who are selected for profileaccess by the respective user, and maintaining 22, within the networkingsystem, a posting access classification component configured to provideaccess to user-authored content posts based upon a networkclassification, a community classification and a private classificationthat are selectable by the user, per user-authored content post, withinthe posting template.

Maintaining the Vault may include only receiving 24 users' content viauploading templates to store the content for later retrieval by the uservia the posting templates. The system and method may include providing26 reading templates that are category related for reading of contentposts of other users.

Further details of various features of the computer implemented networksystem and method for creating, organizing, sharing and archivingcontent will be described below.

Intelligence/Wizards

The system Intelligence (e.g., soft computing, machine learning,learning theory, evolutionary computation, image processing, datamining, natural language processing, fuzzy logic, neural networks, swarmintelligence, AI, and/or probabilistic methods, etc.) may be referred toas Wizards in the description herein. Wizards are rulesets built intoeach Room/Category and are the backbone of each of the system'sTemplates. Wizards tend to the details, the chores of rememberingparticulars when writing and file naming of posts. Wizards are centraloperating components that enable members to flow easily along whencreating new posts, reading friend's posts and uploading new content tothe vault for future posts.

Another useful and important job Wizards perform is making connectionsbased on other member's posts. Whether cultural, subject based, periodsof time and or places lived, for example, the Wizards help connectfamily, friends and [outside community] new friends together. Wizardscould be said to have “intuitiveness.” Guided by the Wizards, Member'sno longer have to navigate pull down menus and no longer struggle tosearch and create.

An intuitive system that is friendly to users may be based on thebackend power of software/hardware, the intelligence and the informationretrieval and search engines. The optimization of templates for creatingand uploading unique, meaningful, and beautiful posts, and for readingand organizing unread posts, is a big part of the unseen backend orbackground work being performed by the system. Suggestions could betaken from the User Profile, questions answered during the signup/setupprocess and various posts posted by members.

From the beginning the system collects member input about personaldesign and user preferences. The system extrapolates information fromthe user profile. The Wishlist utility will prompt new members to createand prioritize a list by category of desired posts or stories to tell.Suggestions could be taken from the User Profile. The uploading templatemay also work in concert with the Wishlist and prompts the memberwhether to tag the new content accordingly.

House

The Family Archive is theme based on a house and organized with rooms,making the navigation system simple and easy to understand. Learning howto use the system and create viable content is as simple as walking fromone room in your building or House to another. As discussed, the systemis built on a virtual building or House theme. A House offersfamiliarity and conformity that new members understand and provides alevel of comfort and security. Other structures and environments arealso contemplated.

The House theme is for familiarity, organization and ease of navigation.A Member's Living Room may include various primary features includingtheir User Interface, an explore point (link) for their member definedcommunity, and an explore point (link) for the entire Family Archivecommunity. Just as in real life, the House and House theme reflect themember's identity, contain their most precious content, and provideaccess only as allowed by the member. There is safety and comfort. Thereis familiarity. Each room (category) may be further customizable andprovides the structure, organization, and access for content. The systemautomatically assists and creates magazine style layouts for posts, andthe layouts are based on the chosen House theme by the member.

Family Archive emphasizes persona, developed on a real-life theme of aHouse in a community that is surrounded by the outside world. Thefortification citadel of a member choice community is a safe haven forprecious works of every member. The start of a member's experience ischoosing the design and color of their House. The House and all of itsindividual rooms (and associated UIs) will blend tastefully according tothe design theme chosen during the setup process. All Posting andReading Templates may automatically adhere to the chosen House designtheme. A theme is the member defined look of his House and all roomdesktops. A theme can be changed in the Desk Settings. The chosen themeof the House may define the template overlays of a member's totalexperience in the system.

So, each room of the building or House is intended to be a separatecategory. Creating posts in each room (aka “a category”) organizes andstructures the experience so that Members do not have to spend timebeing frustrated about knowing where to find control features likeposting template, reading template and back to main living room icon,which are preferably in the same easy to find location for each room.Category/Rooms also help with efficiency in finding their posts or otherMember's posted content. The Theme further enhances the user experiencetailoring a unique user-choice-look to their online world. This platformallows a member to contribute and shape, thereby building, on theirexperience and unique look, making their personal platform enriched andfull of value over time.

The totality of a member's content is contained in their building or“House.” The House address is assigned by the system and may not bechanged by the member. This House address is also used as the Member ID.The Member Username, created by the member during setup, is then linkedto the House Address (and Member ID).

The House address (member ID) and the username are associated with theMembers House and all content contained therein. To log into the systemafter entering username and password, the member will be shown theirhouse (a design of which they chose) illustration. The member may selecta front door of the House that will take them to their main UI or MainLiving Room Desktop.

A Family Archive Mobile App may be a useful tool for the Family Archive.The Mobile App can be considered an extension of the platform. CreatingPosts using the App instead of a Desktop/Laptop computer may be anoption. All the system functions and features will work in App form.Family Archive is very graphical in nature, and the Touch Screenfeatures of a mobile device will work well.

Navigation

Referring to FIGS. 2-4 , some components of a Company or House mayinclude UIs such as graphical or virtual representations of an Office,Lab, Studio or Living Room, for example. The House is a member'sIdentity as recognized by the system and by others in their community.There may be three versions of the Living Room UIs with one of thembeing seen by the Member to use as their Main Living Room or UI, forexample, as shown in FIG. 4A. When other users from within a member'scommunity, and those outside their community, visit a member's LivingRoom, referred to as Showcase Living Rooms, they may be shown a modifiedor alternative Living Room version, depending on their connection tothat member. For example, a user may see a Blue Key (member selectedcommunity share) Showcase Living Room, or a Green Key (for ActiveMembers) Showcase Living Room as will be described below.

Inside Rooms (e.g., R1-R8 in FIG. 2 or H1-H8 in FIG. 3 ) may have GUIs.Rooms are individual categories. Each Room has its own rules governingit and may be considered to be an individual space, in which to post andread content. Navigation to each Room is easily found and is preferablylocated in the Member's Main Room (e.g., Office or Living Room).

A control center (FIGS. 4A and 5 ) may include a graphical or virtualdesk with selectable features (D1-D12). Each Member's Main Living Room(i.e., Main Living Room UI) has a Control Center, which may be referredto as “The Desk.” The Desk includes various selectable features, andMembers may be in complete control of their Settings, Member Profile,Search Index, Title Transfer, Wishlist, Security, Invitations, Vaultstorage including uploading template, Password storage, Help and SystemOperations Contact, as illustrated, for example.

Other UIs may include a Vault (D8). The Vault is a feature richcomponent in the Family Archive system. Navigating to the Vault is fromthe Living Room Desk. Once the Vault icon is selected or clicked, theVault UI appears on the member screen. The Vault is where a memberuploads all of their media and document content to be used for posts.All member content is stored in the Vault. Other Vault features mayinclude Hall of Records, Time Lock, Vault Index, Title Transfer,Password Storage, and Reading templates (which may have a unique designfor each Vault feature).

Outside the House UIs (OH 1-4) are outside the confines of the member'sHouse and are located within outside rooms. These outside rooms are formeeting and interacting with members outside of the member's privatecommunity. These Rooms may include Hobby Hang Out, Community Hall,Discovery Center, and/or Future Rooms (not yet defined). Each of theOutside Rooms may have their own rules for exploring, posting andreading templates. They are meant for active exchanges and discoveringthe fascinating content other members are sharing Community wide. Theserooms are meant to be free access and/or may be monetized.

Main Room/Main Living Room/Showcase Living Rooms

So, the Primary UI (FIG. 4A) is in the Main Living Room and is themember's area on a graphical or virtual display, for example, in whichselectable icons are arranged. It contains navigation buttons taking theMember to other rooms and serves as the Member's control or navigationcenter point. After logging into the Family Archive system (e.g. via aweb application, website, mobile application, etc.) and, for example,clicking on the front door to begin a session, the Member is immediatelyplaced at the Main Living Room. From here the Member can control theirentire online experience. Alerts, bulletins, index search and internalemail, are available at the Main Living Room UI.

Similar to an occupied domicile, we often invite family and friends tocome over to our House. In the Family Archive community, Members haveand control two additional Living Rooms, called Showcase Living Roomsthat are not control centers but rather they allow other members toexplore and visit without invitation. Again, the three living room UIdisplays are preferably: Member Primary Desktop (e.g., GUI), aka MainLiving Room, including Control Center, Mail, and Alerts; Blue Key AccessShowcase Living Room—Intended for Member's own defined community; andGreen Key Access Showcase Living Room—Intended for Active Members,Outside a member's defined community. The Member can create posts inhis/her Showcase Living Rooms intended for family/friends and outsidemembers who explore other member's houses.

The look of any Main Living Room or Showcase Living Room may becustomizable using predesigned templates that the member chooses duringset up. Whatever House design the Member chooses will define the look ofthe living room. Hence a Japanese style home would have a correspondingJapanese style living room. The only time this design parameter changesis if the member decides they want a different looking House. Forexample, if the Member switches to Santa Fe New Mexican style the livingroom will then reflect the change to Santa Fe.

Member's Main Living room UI typically includes navigation choices toother rooms and may be available by selecting any icon (e.g., FIG. 4A)designated for a given room. Family Archive may, or may not, include theuse of pull down menus. The illustration in FIG. 4A is an example only.Rooms inside the House may include: your story; dining room; garden;garage; kitchen; family hall; travel; and your room. Rooms/areas outsidethe House may include: Hobby Hang Out; Community Hall; Discovery Center;and Future Rooms, for example, as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4A. Allrooms inside and outside the house, including Showcase Living Rooms mayinclude a “return to Main Living Room” icon provided for active membersto get back to their own Main Living Room UI.

As discussed, Members can choose the look and style of their House,thereby changing the overall look of their desktops and all posting andreading templates. However, the underlying elements that make up thedesktops and templates may not be changed. In FIG. 4A, the CommunicationCenter of the main desktop Living Room of each Member may contain thefollowing elements: Email, compose/read; Priority Email, Alert thatimportant Email is in; Bulletin, select to read family relatedbulletins; Post's alert and read new posts created by Member'sself-defined community.

Index Search may be available near the Communications Center forconsistency. My Community is a list of others in the Member's definedcommunity. Clicking on any member's listing may bring up options toemail, chat, or see posts in their House. Every Member's Main LivingRoom UI display may include the Desk icon (e.g., see FIG. 4A). The DeskIcon leads them to their Desk UI, the System Control Center (FIG. 5 )for their entire user experience on the System.

FIG. 4A includes a Log Off button for logging off of the system. In thesystem Control Center may be options included for automatic logging offof the system. This is for security concerns. Automatic logging off willprovide a setting so that non-use of the system for a given time willautomatically shut down the program or log off, as would be appreciatedby those skilled in the art. FIG. 4A also illustrates a selection forthe Wishlist prompting tool. Members may choose to activate ordeactivate the Wishlist during their sessions.

Exploring another member's House is encouraged. Story posts and picturesof objects that have short descriptions may be placed around a ShowcaseLiving Room UI. Family and friends (and persons outside a member'sdefined community) may explore the Showcase Living Rooms. The purpose isfor visitors to discover another Member's House. Showcase Living Roomposts are showcases and meant for other member's spontaneous visits.Posts created may not belong to any other room of the House.

There may be two kinds of Showcase Living Rooms available forselectively sharing member posts. For example, Blue Key Living Room[member's self-defined community] and Green Key Living Room [Activemembers] are available for posting. Members can choose each of the twoShowcase Living Rooms to post items such as: story posts; pictures ofobjects to place around the Showcase Living Room (can be connected witha story post); and Video and or Sound files, for example.

Member's creating a blue or green key Showcase Living Room may choosefrom pre-designed templates based on the style of the House design theyhave chosen in Settings (D1). Each Showcase Living Room may have its'own posting template for editing and posting of any content. Thetemplate is brought up by clicking the Post Template icon located on theMain Living Room control UI. Easy-to-use mechanisms for placing anobject anywhere in the room will be facilitated for the member. AllShowcase Living Room post uploads may use the Vault's Uploading Template(D8).

The Blue Key Showcase Living Room sharing level is within a member's owncommunity. Family and approved friends that are in the Membersself-defined community can view items seen in the living room and readposts. This access is available without invitation. Another way for amember to see posts contained in this living room is from an alert sentto their mailbox. It is the choice of any member whether or not to sendpost alerts to all, or to a select a few or one person only. Full AccessMembers not in another member's defined community, can view a Blue KeyShowcase Living Room by asking permission (via email), or by invitationsent by the House owner of the Showcase Living Room.

Since Showcase Living Rooms are not private as with the Main Living RoomUI's, visiting members may not be allowed, nor do they see, the Deskicon and any of the Member's control panels and alert Icons. Althoughthey share the same name, Showcase Living Rooms are for visitors and arenot a member's control center. Where the Main Living Room UI is thecontrol and navigation point, it is private to the member. The Blue KeyShowcase Living Room display (e.g. as shown in FIG. 4B) is a graphicalview of a Member's Blue Key Showcase Living Room, for showing selectableitems, pictures and posts.

The Green Key Showcase Living Room sharing level is for all ActiveMembers of the entire Family Archive system. The Green Key ShowcaseLiving Room (e.g. as shown in FIG. 4C) functions the same as the abovementioned Blue Key Showcase Living Room, except the viewing access to itwhich is open to all Family Archive Full Access Members.

Green Key Showcase Living Rooms are meant for exploration, includingseeking out and sharing content with new members. As the system buildsmemberships, so will it make connections in common with each other'sinterests and proclivities. Posting members may choose to leave theirCV's and personal writings and opinion pieces here.

Non-sensitive photos and videos can also be placed in the ShowcaseLiving Rooms. There may be options in Showcase Living Rooms to leave theowner a message and to ask to become a member of his community. ShowcaseLiving Rooms are often found by members via Outside Rooms such as HobbyHang Out, Discovery Center, and Community Hall, and through systeminitiated connections when common interests/experiences have beenidentified.

The two Showcase Living Rooms may have their own posting templates andare: green key access level, and blue key access level. These ShowcaseLiving Room posting templates may be an important utility for Members topost and show various aspects and personal essentials attributed totheir life.

The Living Room Posting Template icon is accessed in the Member's MainLiving Room UI control panel, for example, in the section titled InsideRooms (See FIG. 4A). Selecting the Living Room Posting Template icon mayoffer a choice whether to post in the green key, or in the blue keyLiving Room. The Main Living Room posting template is similar to allposting templates as it may be adapted according to choice andsituation. Therefore, the posting template for a Green Key may offer themember choices for less personal non-private life events. The Blue Keyposting template may be similar to the Green Key template except it ismore personal and private to a member's defined community.

Stories, profiles, photos of people and objects, videos, scans or anyother items can be posted in a member's Showcase Living Rooms. Inputtingany of the above listed items to the posting template, may necessitateadding some simple or detailed descriptions and a name or title of thecontent being posted. When the post is complete, a pointer may bepresented to the member enabling them to place the item, anywhere on theMain Living Room UI. Living Room objects, stories and items all havefile names automatically assigned by the system intelligence. Thetemplate automatically files them in the Member's ‘own Index.’ Thatmeans each post no matter the simplicity, for these Showcase LivingRooms, can be searched in the Member's own Index by category, subject,date and name, for example.

So, the Main Member Living Room UI display (FIG. 4A) is the firstinterface in the Family Archive network that a member sees after loggingin and clicking the front door, for example. The Main Living Room UIincludes a Communication Center, and is a navigation starting point.Mail Alerts and all incoming messages contained within a member'sself-defined community and entire system at large, may be first seen asan Alert Icon. A number near the icon may indicate how many messages areavailable to read.

Mail may be sorted by category and prioritized by importance accordingto settings. Mail can be stored or deleted. Most mail is associated withposts or rooms in the form of questions, comments, suggestions, andpersonal communication. In addition, mail can be in the form of Alertsfrom members' invitations to see one of their posts, or other forms ofinvite to actually meet in person. The invitation template feature ofFamily Archive helps members compose invitations to meet othersin-person for events. R.S.V.P. and detail-notes may be a part of thisfeature.

Family Archive Email is not traditional email, it is community based.All email in the system is composed, sent, received and viewed onlywithin the system. Email cannot be shared, sent or composed outside thesystem. No connection to traditional mail servers like Google, Yahoo orHotmail are available.

Navigation includes pointing and clicking on any icon in the Member'sMain Living Room that will navigate to other places in the House or tothe Desk display. Once away, a return to Main Living Room selection maybe present on any other of the Member's rooms or areas, leading back tothe Main Living Room.

Help may be an element and is fluid throughout the system. Floating themouse [hovering over] any system designed element or component for morethan a few seconds without clicking the mouse may bring up a descriptionor explanation of the object, for example. Choosing HELP in the Desk'sControl Center (FIG. 5 ) and typing a key search word may also beavailable for member's who need guidance.

Desk/Control Center

The Desk Control Center may be thought of as a dashboard. Theillustration in FIG. 5 is an example of the Member's Control Center andthese icons are accessed from the Desk found in the Member's Main LivingRoom. The Desk may be in a specific easy to see location. The followingdescribes each of the Desk Control Center's icon choices, and thedescriptions follow the System Platform diagrams (FIGS. 2 and 3 ) usingdesignators D1-D12.

Settings

Settings D1 is a control center similar to the gear icon found on manywebsites. Clicking the Settings icon will enable the Member to edit D1and make choices for House style, themes, fonts and colors.

Member Profile

Member Profile D2 will capture information from the Member's Profile setup process. Should the member wish to share some added Member Profileinformation to that of his personal community, the member can set accesslevels to various sections of his profile. For example, the Member maychoose to write a less detailed summary for Green Key Level access, andthen choose to write more extensive details for their Blue Key[user-defined] community. It is noted that the Member Profile pagediffers from Your Story which does not necessarily have to be about theauthor. Member Profile is focused primarily on the Member's life andwork. The Member Profile is something encouraged by the Family ArchiveCommunity.

Index Search

The Index Search function D3 of the Family Archive Community website issimilar to other websites. The Family Archive entire system's Index andthe Member's ‘My Index’ may be queried via the search engine. Every posta Member creates may be categorized and hashtag-enabled thereby allowingsearch to find specific items and details of a particular member theymay be seeking.

The Index may include a list of all Full Access Members and their posts.New members are automatically placed into the Index by the system duringsignup when the new Member obtains their Member ID (e.g., Step 5 inFIGS. 2 and 3 ). Members that have not renewed their membership may havean inactive [greyed out] listing in the Index.

Only a Member's House address and Member username, and the title of alltheir posts may be listed in the Index. Customizable searches areavailable to the member. Other customizable options are to search formembers located in a city or country, or members that belong to a hobbyor have posted in Kitchen, for example, or any other room. With thepower of databases, the master Index will gather data and grow into apowerful search tool and be a valuable asset to advertisers as well asmonetization applications.

A member may perform various functions in the index, for example: searchonly for members in his/her community with any of the criteria listedbelow; search the whole Family Archive Full Access Member Network;search for specific posts; search for subjects and categories; searchfor members matching defined criteria; search for all Members with BlueKey and Green Key level access to their posts; search photos and videosmatching defined criteria; request access from a member to view theirblue level post; search for histories, event posts occurring within acertain date range; search for alerts and bulletins by other members.

The Master Index lists everything that is ever uploaded or postedencompassing all of the whole Family Archive network. All listings inthe master index are selectable. If the user is in the same community asthe author, the user will be able to open up and see the post. If a userclicking any link in the Index is not a member of the authors definedcommunity, the user may select the listing, that may automaticallypop-up a request or email template. This email template is intended forat least one purpose, to ask permission of the author to see a post. Theauthor can reject or block requests or grant permission to the (outsidehis community) user to see the post.

My Index, on the other hand, is a member's own private index that isspecific to their own content. All the ways to search and explore usingthe Index are available to a member's own personal House for easyretrieval. My Index refers to all content ever created by a given memberand is listed in the confines of their House. My Index may draw from allrooms the member has posted in, as well as their Vault. This is useful,less complex and faster for organizing and retrieval of uploadedcontent.

Title Transfer

Title Transfer D4 is an ownership handover and allows members to assigntheir accounts to other members or to those that are not Family ArchiveMembers in case of death or other event. Called a “Trust” the assignedmember would have full access rights to the giving Member's House. Allpasswords and digital content, plus all Vault content are a part of thehandover. Members may spend considerable time and thought creating postsand do not want them expunged automatically from the system should themember be debilitated or become deceased. The Title Transfer is a wayfor the member's content to continue.

The icon choice “Title Transfer” D4 is located on the Desk ControlCenter and may concurrently be accessed in the Vault's UI. Theparameters for the Title Transfer assignment may be held in the Member'sVault D8. It may be for convenience purposes that the “Title Transfer”button may be located in two places. This Title Transfer option maygenerate a template with easy to understand choices to send an agreementto any person in order to grant full access to the giving-Member'saccount, normally under certain conditions.

Wishlist

The Wishlist D5 or Prompting Tool is a listing of objectives toaccomplish, providing reminders at appropriate times. Other descriptivenames for the Wishlist that may be used are: Prompting Tool, ReminderPrompt, My Prompt, Remind & Prompt, and Auto-Reminder Tool, for example.

The Wishlist is a list of category based items the Member wants toaccomplish. From the Main Living Room UI (FIG. 4 ), a member selects theDesk icon to bring up the Desk's Control Panel (FIG. 5 ) and thenselects the icon for “Wishlist.” The Wishlist Template appears on thescreen. The template may ask the member to fill in an item under acategory of interest. Some people may not know what they want to list,so the Wishlist may extract some key-word information from the Member'sProfile. For example, a member could have written about their hometown,or a place they grew up, they could mention their job or experiencesthat the system intelligence will pick up on and use to help fill insuggestions.

In addition to drawing from the member profile, the member could selectsuggestions. The suggestions window shows several samples of Wishlist'sfilled in already. Sample Wishlist's are generic examples that may spurthe imagination. The member could choose one of them and initiate theexample to open up the posting template in the room that was selected onthe listing. These example lists may not be more than ten items totalfor each category, for example. The members may combine listings withthe Wishlist's, keep or delete the examples, add their own listingthereby prioritizing all listings no matter how they were created. Thecategory specific examples made by the system intelligence may be placedin the user's Wishlist (according to category) and is intended to coaxthe member to write about something they signified in their setupinformation and profile page.

The member fills in their list according to the priority they want togive it, under the category heading on the Wishlist. The priority aka“prompting order” may be set by the user. The system will promptaccording to the priority, e.g., 1-100, reminding the member (e.g., bypop up window) at appropriate times to create or upload a post; e.g.,this could happen at first login or when visiting a room.

With reference to the diagram in FIG. 6 , the Wishlist triangle involvesthe uploading templates and posting templates. The relationship prompts,creates, and renews. An element may not be changed without affectinganother element in the triangle. The Wishlist triangle shows how theWishlist engine influences Family Archive's Wizard templates.

Wishlist is an intelligence Wizard, linked to uploading and postingtemplates, member profiles and content. Continuously analyzing memberinput to make useful topic suggestions.

The uploading template asks essential details about content uploads themember will store in the Vault to insert into future posts. One of thequestions is, “what category [room] is this upload intended for?” Thenext question in the sequence will ask, “is the upload intended for anyexisting listing within the [chosen] category?” If the answer is yes,the member will click on the listed item—to join the upload with theWishlist item. When the member creates the post, the system mayintuitively ask the Member where to insert all or some of the uploadsconnected to the listing, into the post automatically. If the answer is“no” meaning, there is not yet a Wishlist listing for the upload, themember may write one into the Wishlist or choose not to at this time.

The Uploading template answered questions are interpreted by theWishlist, some details of which, are turned into Wishlist topicsuggestions.

Located in category rooms of a member's house, the posting template isopened by either choosing the “Post Icon” or selecting a Wishlist item.The posting template opens to start creating a new post. It fills in anyprevious information, that was entered during the uploading process.Names, dates, places are inserted into the new post's template. Editingfilled in items are options for members, but assuming the post isrelated to the uploaded content, much essential information may alreadybe inserted. The posting template is an integral part of the uploadtemplate and Wishlist.

The Wishlist is an intuitive helpful assistant, inspiring membersessions with useful topic hints to create new post content. Wishlistentries are both a member's and the Wishlist's Wizard inputting posttopic suggestions. Members enter their own topic suggestions accordingto a category, which coincides with a room in the member's house. TheWishlist draws information from member profiles, upload templates andkey words from member posts. As more content is created, the Wishlistmay keep offering new suggestions. The Wishlist harmonizes with theuploading and posting templates, continuously learning and automaticallyupdating more useful listing of topics.

Wishlist examples are shown in FIG. 7 . The status of each goal/task maymay be reflected in color, and user friendly techniques may be includedfor editing and navigation.

Prompts from the system to members go according to what has beencompleted and what needs to be created. If a member wants to change theorder priority of any item on the Wishlist, it may be a simple drag anddrop. An aim of Wishlist is to prompt the Member to post what isimportant to them.

There are many possibilities for the Wishlist, covering all aspects oflife and brought to life in a myriad of ways. A member might want tocreate a post to preserve thoughts, travel, significant life events,opinions, recipes, hobbies, poetry, adventure to name a few. The postcould include photos, text, videos, and scans of just about anything(art, menus, letters, concert tickets, . . . ). During the upload ofcontent into the Vault [D8], the Member may be asked to tag the contentto a Wishlist item.

The complete Wishlist is accessible from the Desk in the Main LivingRoom. Category specific Wishlist's may be accessible from theirassociated room.

The member can turn off the Wishlist any time, by turning it off duringa session. The Wishlist control panel may have various options forprompting including None, Once, or more times per logged-in onlinesession, for example.

Family Archive's template based system is for uploading content,creating posts, and reading posts in coordination with each other andwith the Wishlist. The Wizards may make suggestions in the Wishlist bycollecting information about posts the member has created and posts themember has read. The Wishlist engine may always be working in thebackground supporting members to post category specific contentaccording to the room entered.

Each room or category, in a member's House and every template initiatedby the system matrix, i.e., posting, uploading and reading templates,may have the unique assistant, Wishlist. The Wishlist encourages membersto create new posts as well as read posts from other members.

The Wishlist may be integral to all reading and posting templatesbecause they have an effect on each other. When something occurs as in areading or a posting in one of them, the Wishlist picks up on thataction which may affect the Wishlist's listing accordingly. It may greyit out, meaning it has been read, or add it to a category in priorityorder, or mark it off strikethrough and greyed out, sending down thelist of the category denoting, work completed.

Security/Key Levels

Security D6 controls access and may be implemented as four different keylevels, for example. These may include: Green (shared openly with allactive members inside the private permissioned network) and the greenkey posts the author has also shared in the Outside Rooms, allowing bothactive members and registered users full access to them; Blue (sharewith member's self-defined community); Yellow (share with member'sself-defined family in the Family Hall room); and Red (share with a fewor no members). Security Keys are a way to restrict or grant access formembers to view posts. The color names used herein are examples of anaming arrangement, of course other names for key levels arecontemplated.

A post may not be completed and posted without assigning it a securitykey level. Each posting template may have selection options (e.g. tickboxes) to easily specify the security level since all posts by membersare created with templates designed for each room. As discussed, roomsare another way of saying “category,” e.g., Kitchen, Garage, LivingRoom, and Hobby Hangout. Each room/category may be defined with its ownrule-sets which may not be changed by members. For example, the DiningRoom H5 in FIG. 3 , may be accessible to the member's self-definedcommunity by default. That is to say it is accessible to member'sassigned a Blue Key security status. Any specific post can be morebroadly shared (green key) or more strictly shared (red key).

Each posting template may request the member to select a Key Levelbefore the completion of the post. “What is the Key Level Access toassign to this post?” Choices may be red (private/select), blue (sharewith member's own community) or green (share openly throughout theActive Member Family Archive system). Of course, fewer, additional oralternative key levels may be provided for selection. Assigning asecurity Key Level Access may change the way the Index lists and enablesaccess to any post material accordingly. The separate elements abovework together to streamline a member's complete online experience whenlogged into the Family Archive system.

Red Key Level Access posts have an optional choice to add a passwordbefore the post is submitted for upload. The posting template maytrigger an alert asking members to assign a Key Level. When Red ischosen, the system may prompt the member to write an optional passwordin the space provided. The password will be stored in password storage,and when the post is finalized, the system will alert the intendedrecipient to read the post and may be given the password for the postsimultaneously.

Any Blue Key post means people in the member's community can read thepost and do not need a password. The author of a post could choose toenable the post to be discoverable that allow registered users to beable to search for discoverable post listings, in the outside roomindex. Normally registered users may not see Full Access Member's postlistings in their outside room index unless it is marked “discoverable.”Discoverable posts are a listing only, permission to see it, is obtainedwhen a registered user clicks the listing, that brings up an automaticemail or message template to ask the author permission to see the post.Full Access members are typically searching for content to read. Thepurpose of Family Archive is to connect like-minded people together. TheFamily Archive environment uses Wizards to enhance discovery of postscreated throughout the system using various key terms, tags, andcategories.

The posting template offers an option to enable the post being uploadedto be discoverable in the Outside Room Index. The Index may be viewed byFull Access Members and Registered Users. A selection to allow discoverymay not be activated by default. It may be turned on and is therefore amember option. Not selecting the discovery option may default to aclosed post, meaning it cannot be found in the outside room index. Thisoption may be changed at any time.

Members wanting to view a Blue Key post may request access via themessage/alert system. The author can decide to accept or reject requestsfor viewing their Blue Key posts. All posts marked discoverable, mayhave an option to message the author of the post. Green Key Access areposts open to all Active Members. No password may be necessary.

The Showcase Living Rooms may have all active member access and memberdefined-community shared access, hence Blue and Green Key levels. Theremay not be red key levels for Showcase Rooms. Blue Key Level Accessenables the post to be available to anyone in the member's self-definedcommunity. Green Key Level Access enables the post to be available toall Active Members, but not Registered users.

Blue Key Level Access is user defined and allows the member's(self-defined) Community access to the post. By default, Blue Key LevelAccess is selected by the system templates for all rooms except outsiderooms. The member can change any given post to another level in theserooms. By default, outside the House rooms are green key and are notuser choice options. For all other rooms Green Key Level Access may bean option.

As noted above, assigning Red Key Level Access to a post limits accessto individual members as selected by the authoring member. A passwordmay be required and may be maintained within the member's Red KeyPassword Storage D9. Once posted, anyone granted access may be notified.

Blue Key Exclude may be an option that gives the member a choice toexclude certain members in their own community from seeing a post. Amember's community could include relatives, friends, and colleagues, andother acquaintances. This exclusion option is available if the memberwants to create a post for their community but exclude one or moreindividuals from the post. The default is to grant access to everyone inthe community. The member can then de-select any of their communitymembers.

Invitations

Invitations D7 is located as a function in the Desk. Invitations ismultifunctional, giving members a choice for several types ofinvitations. Inside a Member's Community, the invitation purpose is away to invite other members to an event or function. This invitationutility is also meant to get others to join up. Members can invitefamily and friends to become members by sending them an invite to do so.By asking friends and family to join, they automatically becomeassociated with the asking member's defined community.

The Invitations template like all others within a specific room/categorymay begin by asking a question followed by a simple list of selections.For example, the questions may be “This invitation is for?” followed bychoices that may include 1—Invite family or friends to the FamilyArchive; or 2—Send invitations to an event with RSVP replies. Thesechoices may have their own rule-sets that enable separate task specifictemplates or features to appear.

To invite others to join Family Archive, the first choice to invitefamily or friends may be a simple template with an email fill in for oneor as many people as the member desires to input. Sending an invitationoutside the Family Archive matrix may be a special rule set. The FamilyArchive is a permissioned or private system. The Invitation option toinvite family and friends may be an exception. Receiving a reply fromoutside email clients may only be possible via a special secureself-contained matrix intended for this purpose only. The emails sentand received may have to be contained or limited to such a specialsecure self-contained matrix.

An invitation checklist may be available that might include: dinnerparty; family reunion; graduation or other ceremony; picnic; coffee (asimple invitation to meet with one or a small group); funeral; roadtrip, camping or travel; or wedding.

Available to the member may be a full functioning invitation center withRSVP notices listing responses. The Invitation utility is a fullyfunctioning tool to send others an invitation to an outside event orgathering. Having the ability to send an invitation for a dinner party,ceremony, wedding, funeral, picnic, family reunion, graduation and anyother conceivable event is an add on useful tool. The invitation toolmay assist members to compose invitations via invitation templatesdesigned specifically for this purpose.

The templates may ask (for example): 1—What type of event?; 2—Venue ofevent?; 3—Date of event?; 4—Time of event?; 5—Participants must reply by[date]? With setting Automatic reminder if a reply has not been receivedby [date], and Automatic reminders send [x] times to non-responsiverecipient ; 6—Conditions such as Dress code, Gifts, Cost, SurpriseParty; 7—Participants to invite such as Internal to the Family ArchiveCommunity or Outside (non-member) the Family Archive Community;8—Weather conditions such as “If raining then” or “If snowing then” or“If—fill in option—then . . . ”; and 9—MAP option to include or notinclude.

Vault

The Vault D8 is accessible from the member's Desk and, Control Center.Choose Vault to be shown the Vault UI. The Vault UI contains controlfunctions for the following system elements and components (withreference to the example Vault illustrated in FIG. 8 ): UploadTemplate—for all member content to be used anywhere in the system; TimeLock utility—releases a post under certain user defined conditions;Vault Index—categorizes and organizes all uploaded content for easyretrieval; Title Transfer—for the transferring of Ownership rights of amembership/House to another; Password Storage—may show a list ofpasswords the member has given out for Red Key and blue Key posts; Hallof Records—a citadel safe for a Member's own private documents (e.g.,similar to cloud storage); Reading Template—aids in the reading of anycontent listed above.

A purpose of the Vault is for storage of all uploaded documents andmedia. Uploads of any kind are stored only in the Vault. This may be thesystem default and may not be changed or manipulated. Each member Vaultis similar to having a personal cloud storage service (see Hall ofRecords in the following description). Content in the Vault is onlyaccessible by the respective Member. Key Level Access is not availablewhen uploading because content is private. Vault storage is for thepurpose of creating future posts containing Vault-uploads of documentsand media.

Uploading to the Vault is by template only, and may be referred to as“The Vault Uploading Template” or “Uploading Template.” It is anuploading template which is carefully designed to pinpoint the purposeof any upload. It serves as a guide for the member to properly catalogcontent to be able to find later when the member is creating a post. TheUploading Template works in coordination with Wishlist, promptingMember's to write a listing associated with a Room for whatever postingsthe particular upload may be intended.

File names for all uploaded media stored in the Vault are auto-assignedby the system and automatically indexed in a Vault Index for easyretrieval (e.g. see FIG. 8 ) and Table of Indexes (below).

The Time Lock is a mechanism by which the member creates a post that isonly unlocked (e.g., able to be seen) after a specific period of time ora set condition. The post could contain an important document orannouncement which is only released at a certain time or date. One couldconsider it a time capsule similar to a last Will and Testament, agoodbye message to all which is only released after the passing of amember who wants to share a meaningful message. Any content, document ormedia can be Time Locked.

The Vault is a safe storage and retrieval utility to view, use and reuseany uploaded content with the intended purpose to insert into Member'sPosts. Member Posts are classified differently and not created in theVault, and on the other hand, may not be stored here and may not be seenin the Vault. All member posts may be stored in the system matrix andare viewed in the room they were posted in or by searching the Master orMember Index then selecting the title, for example. A Time lock post maybe the only post that can be created in the Vault and is created usingthe Vault uploading template.

The example Vault shown in FIG. 8 depicts the various elements comprisedof the Vault matrix. Note the uploading and reading templates are in thecenter of the graphic. Just as all uploading and reading templatesthroughout the Family Archive system are adapted to the room/categorythey reside in, Uploading and Reading Templates in the Vault may beadapted for each Vault element.

Starting from the Main Living Room, a member may select Desk then selectthe icon for Vault. The Vault UI appears and may remain in thebackground for all of the below listed actions. The Vault's UI may beicon driven with easy to read and understand graphics for the uploadingor reading template.

Thus, the Vault is safe and private as all materials stored there arenot shared and are only available to the member that owns it. No contentcan enter the Vault without the Uploading Template. The uploadingtemplate is in the Vault D8 which is accessed via the Control Center atthe Desk located in the Main Living Room of a member's House. The Vaultmay be the one and only place to initiate the Uploading Template and itmay be the one and only system-feature to upload all media content asstated above. The features of the uploading template ask essentialquestions and are the start of the creative process for future posts.The uploading template prompts save time for creating posts later. Who,What, Where, Why, How? What category is this material be posted into,e.g., Kitchen, Travel, Dining Room? What is the Wishlist priority?

Located in the Vault D8 is the Hall Of Records It is a separated Vaultonly feature for the convenience of a Full Access Member to use. TheHall of Records is meant to store important personal documents anddigital content but not to be shared or posted in the Member's House.The Hall of Records may have its own index and uploading template, thatwould aid the member in naming, categorizing, and organizing digitizedcontent of all kind. For reading, viewing and printing any document, andor digital content; a Hall of Records Reading Template would enablethese tasks.

The Hall of Records is a restricted area inside the Member's Vault. Itmay have its own defined rule sets for uploading, storing, and readingdocuments. The Hall of Records may have its own index and searchcapabilities as the content therein is not a part of the Member'spersonal Index or Master Index and search engine. It may be consideredto be a virtual safe within the vault to store and view importantdocuments of the House owner. A list of documents by category may begenerated by the Hall of Record's uploading template. The record listmay name and categorize the document(s), provide an upload date, lastview date and be clickable to open the document. The record list may belocated in a Hall of Records Index.

Documents may only be uploaded using one device such as the member'sdesktop computer or phone. If using a mobile phone, it must be themember's own phone. The phones biometrics (e.g. fingerprint, voice orfacial recognition and 2 factor authorization) utility may be necessaryfor uploading and downloading or viewing documents. Extra securitymeasures for positive identification may be implemented in the softwaredesign for a desktop computer. Documents inside the Hall of Recordscannot be shared outside the Hall of Records—or be transferred to otherparts of the Family Archive system or a member's own House.

Documents stored in the Hall of Records may be available for viewing anddownloading via the user's mobile phone using standard securityprotocols or their computer and laptop using two-factor identification,for example. Viewing may only be possible with the special readingtemplate inside the Hall of Records. Examples of documents (which are indigital form, and considered a back-up to real-life) in case of fire,theft or misplacement: Insurance papers, Investments, Banking,Government IDs, Auto-title, House Title, Will and Testaments, etc.

Password Storage

Password Storage D9 is a Desk Control Center feature to store passwordseither Blue or Red Key for safe keeping and easy retrieval. The passwordstorage utility allows members to change or delete passwords alreadyissued. It can also assign new passwords to posts with a Red and BlueKey Level Access.

Inside and Outside Rooms

Rooms (e.g. FIG. 4 ) are another way to describe a particular category.Each room includes posting template based solely on that room. The roomsare distinctive individual places, different from one another andfeature rich. The User-customizable House theme is organized anddesigned for ease for navigation. Rooms contained in real life homes arecategorized by: Living Room, Kitchen, Dining Room, Garage, Garden. TheFamily Archive Member's House, their identity on the platform, is basedon this same familiar reality.

One example of a category room is the Kitchen H6—it is about ‘allthing's food,’ including recipe sharing and stories of culinarymasterpieces. The popularity of cooking shows illustrates the fondnesspeople have for food, for learning about cooking and for sharingrecipes. These will all find an active home in the Kitchen category.

Rooms are specific categories and meant to share worthwhile storiesabout current experiences or activity from the recent past or long ago.The category specific rooms are for posting and preserving a member'sexperiences through their multi-media story. This contrasts with mostsocial media platforms filled with endless photos-for-likes, quicklyturned into forgotten moments.

The rooms of the Family Archive system platform are individual UIs thatprovide the experience of a professional styled-blog and posting site,e.g., each with tantalizing headlines and plenty of archives to searchfor interesting content. Photos and videos or stories with enhancednarration will stimulate readers. The rooms are for categorizing memberposts making it easy to find and navigate to specific subjects quicklyand intuitively.

Family Archive is designed to inspire members to share their life inmeaningful ways with the help of the Posting Templates, encouragingmembers to make choices and input their stories, make videos or explaina photo through storytelling. The experience of crafting a good lookingpost becomes fun and no longer the impediment to sharing.

There may be various classifications of rooms (See System Platformdiagram in FIGS. 2 and 3 for a graphic depiction and layout of allrooms/areas of the system). Two classifications may be House InsideRooms (or Green Zone H1-H8) and Outside Rooms (or Purple Zone OH1-OH4).The Green Zone may be a private, permissioned area, and it delineatesall rooms contained within a Member's House. The Purple Zone, (e.g., notpart of the private area) may include the Outside Rooms and go beyondthe realm of a member's House. Posts created inside a Member's House canbe posted to the Outside Rooms, but any content in the Outside Rooms maynot be brought back into a Member's House for security reasons.

Members may be able to turn off/on some rooms in their main home page oricon-set. While a member may not have the option of turning off thesystem elements including Main Living Room UI, Showcase Living Rooms,Desk, and Vault, for example, and may not have the option of turning offoutside rooms (such as Discovery Center, Hobby Hang Out, Community Hall,and future rooms), they may have the ability to turn off some of theHouse rooms (such as Your Story, Family Hall, Garage, Garden, DiningRoom, Kitchen, Travel, and Your Room). Also, various rules that definerooms may be by system design and may not be changed by members.

In sum, Rooms offer easy intuitive navigation, may be designed by amember to be pleasing in appearance, and can reflect a category. Theyare locations where members create a posts, set key level access forposts (security and exposure levels), and read posts.

Your Story

Your Story H1 may be a foundation of the Family Archive and may be thefirst Room in the House. Whereas other rooms or categories are forselect subjects, Your Story is not based on a category. Any subject themember wants to post about may be allowed here. This room is about asmany stories and subjects as the member wants to share with others.

Life is full of enriching experiences and difficulties, all of whichmake up the totality of who we are. Your Story is for sharing ourprofound memories. Some of the stories can be short and playful. Forexample, reminiscing about a favorite pet and the warmth it provided thefamily. Other stories could include major milestones like meeting thelove of your life, buying your first House or earning a college degree.

Our grandparents made choices that ultimately impacted our lives andtelling their story may enrich our sense of family. Living with ormarrying someone from another culture could spur a wealth of stories tofill a book. The planning and actual move to another country to live andwork are subjects many would be fascinated to read about. For some it ischildhood memories and others it is the joy of watching your kids growup and spending time with grandkids. Story possibilities are endless.“Your Story” room is a place to begin telling them.

The Your Story room like other rooms may be a graphical or virtual userinterface. The design and look of the UI is based on the Member's chosenHouse theme during the Set Up process. Posts are created with the “YourStory Posting Template” imbued with story writing encouragement andcapability. This particular room is a Story Room, the template may askstory based questions, based on the standards of writing. True, fiction,Who, What, Where, When, Why and How may be basic fill-in options askedby the writing template. The writing template has built in features tohelp ask questions to help the writer input necessary story details.Spelling, grammar hints are automatic for each post creation. The memberchooses a story layout template design for the post based on anassortment of layouts available. The member chooses easy changeablefonts and color choices plus a headline for the post. The last part ofthe creation is to input pictures and video if desired. Before posting,the Member may be prompted to assign a Key level and whether to identifyit as an “all eternity” post, and/or to assign it as “discoverable” (seeFIG. 10 ). The Member titles the post, the system gives it a File Nameand automatically lists it in the Family Archive Master Index, andsimultaneously in the Member's My Index.

Travel

There is always a story with every travel adventure. The Travel H2 roomis specific in design to assist the member to post experiences with theassistance of the travel-posting-template. Member's Travel room may seetwo graphic word icons used to post category specific travel events:Passport (out of the country) and Domestic (inside one's country).

Visiting Members may select on the Passport. The pages open and can beturned or flipped (e.g. like the pages of an actual Passport) so theviewing member then sees Passport Stamps by country and date. Clickingon any country's stamp may bring up the story post related to theholiday that the stamp corresponds to. The travel room UI is meant to besimilar to a Member's Showcase Blue Key Living Room. It is a dynamicspace that changes from time to time. The posting member may choosevarious available templates for the theme, including pictures of travelmementos.

Garden

The Garden H3 room is a place to share experiences and gardeningtalents. Pictures of each year's blooms and harvests are encouraged.Stories abound about how these beauties were grown as well as why somefailed. Farming families may thoroughly enjoy the Garden room withpride. There is a lot of wisdom to share: When and what to plant atcertain times of the year; How to water, graft and fertilize. Gardeningof all types is popular the world over. Growing vegetables, keeping upbeautiful flower gardens, and private greenhouses are hobbies people ingeneral enjoy. The Garden Room is meant to be a showcase for amateurgardeners and professionals too.

Templates based on Garden themes that match the Member's House Designmay give the room its look. The Garden Room may show and teach with (howto) videos produced by the user, and or written posts. How-to postscould also be in the form of pictures, with voice over narration and atouch of music added in for effect. Special stylized frames may bechosen from the Posting Template. Each picture frame is a separatepost/story of whatever the picture is about that may (once clicked) havemore pictures and story-explanation detail. The framed picture couldalso be a video post. The Family Archive video posting template may helpthe post creator fill in relevant details about the video.

A posting template for the Garden Room may be specific to the Garden.Like the Kitchen, where there is a recipe template inside the Kitchenposting template, the Garden's how-to section may have a standardizedtemplate based on the how-to [subject] being given. Questions like: whatis needed?, how much of an item is needed?, where to buy, when to plant,and how to grow instructions, may all be part of the Garden how-totemplate.

Garage

The Garage H4 is an area to store miscellaneous but important stuff andto build projects. The Garage as a room is included in Family Archivebecause it is a unique place for home projects, crafts, hobbies, and allthings automotive. The garage is a place of creativity focused on makingcrafts, building things and fixing up old cars, for example.

The Garage may be by default Blue Key Level Access. Green key communitywide (for Active Members) sharing may be an option for any Garage post.

The Garage room may be a show room of user's hobbies, crafts and cars,and is a post discussion venue. Members of Family Archive may have theoption to turn the Garage off if they do not have an interest increating posts of this type.

The Garage UI is based on the chosen House Theme. The Garage postingtemplate may focus on displaying these projects and their evolution inthe most beautiful and dramatic way. Video and narration may be anoption for these, adding another personal dimension to these verypersonal projects/posts. The layout of the posting template for theGarage may be weighted more toward visuals to showcase the project butmay include “how I made it, accomplished it, or why I bought it,” kindsof questions.

Dining Room

Dining rooms are private intimate places of social gatherings. TheFamily Archive Dining Room H5 may be blue and red key access, sharedonly within the confines of the members own community. A green key levelaccess is allowed by the system for members that may have a reason toshare their dining room experience with all Family Archive members andregistered users. Café and restaurant dining may also be included in theDining Room. The Dining Room is also a place one might post allcherished moments associated with a meal—an anniversary, a first date,or a wedding dinner banquet. Writing about it and including photos andvideos with some narration to capture the special nuances of theoccasion may be a post to enjoy for years to come.

The Dining Room Posting Template places emphasis on occasions and asksquestions accordingly—reason for the event, time and place, attendees, .. . ?

The Dining Room UI styling is based on the chosen House Theme. The spaceis about “those great times we had a dinner” or any other diningexperience. The room may be based on picture sets of various diningexperiences that will highlight them into frames and/or photo book-likesets. Simply selecting any frame or photo set will bring up the Postassociated with the picture. The room's Index feature may facilitate aneasy “search” function. For example, a user may search by Date,Occasion, Title, People, Place, etc.,

The Posting template for the Dining Room specifically targets Photos,Names of People, Place and the Reason for the occasion. The template mayask for video taken of the event, or any audio that was recorded. Theposting template may put all the media together in a well-organized postthat looks like it was professionally published.

Kitchen

The Kitchen H6 is a room for sharing all things food and related tofood. The Kitchen Room UI styling is based on the chosen House Theme.The space is about sharing recipes, preparation of food and lists forshopping and kitchen equipment. Since video format is familiar and easybecause of mobile phones, it is a key component for the “How To” part ofthe Kitchen UI. As with all of the rooms, the Kitchen theme will have akitchen look about it. The recipe section may be a book (styled) Iconcalled “My Recipe's.” Recipes may be easy to input with the postingtemplate. Member's posting in the Kitchen may be asked questions abouttheir post. The first question the Kitchen posting template may ask is:“Are you posting a recipe?” A “yes” answer will bring up the recipetemplate. This is an example of a template within a template—or abranching template.

The posting template in the Kitchen may ask food related questions, andfor historical context, it may ask if the recipe is handed down throughthe family. All recipe posts may enable an optional section to write astory and a description about the recipe, pictures and video. Anarration feature or wizard for any recipe may be a highlighted element,that should someone prefer to explain the recipe vocally, the option maybe available. There are more than recipe options for posts in theKitchen room. Meal plans, party menus and recommending what food itemsto buy and how to prepare them are an option for Member's to post.

Family Hall

The Family Hall H7 is a place to have family related discussions, shareinformation and connect with relatives. The Family Hall may have a livechat feature. Live chat assumes two or more family members are onlineand signed into the Family Archive. Live chat is easily seen from aMember's Main Living Room UI as an option in the Family Hall. And in theFamily Hall room, a pop-up, may indicate someone else is available tochat online. Live chat may include text, audio and video options.

The Family Hall is a place to chat live with family and post familynewsletters, bulletins, and newsy items about family happenings.

The Family Hall may be a special designated Yellow Key, also known as“Family Key.” It is intended for frequent interactive familyconnections. The Yellow Key allows Members to lock down, therebydesignate who they want from within their user defined community toparticipate in their Family Hall room. The method for using the YellowKey, aka Family Key, is twofold. The Family Hall room can be designateda Yellow Key room, and only pre-designated members are allowed toparticipate in it. The second method is only to designate a given postto be a Yellow Key post. Meaning the post itself is available only forthose that have been pre-designated by the author of the post to see it.

The Family Hall is meant to be a busy interactive space for family fun,announcements, news, encouragement, and gathering. To encourage familymembers to share, the Family Hall posting template may include anewsletter creator, a bulletin creation template, and an announcementtemplate for shorter announcements.

Your Room

The Your Room H8 can be turned on or off in the settings. The postingand reading templates in this room may be essentially the same as inpre-configured rooms since many prompts and questions may be similar.However, in this customized room, a member may also be able topersonalize their Own Room Templates by adding their own customquestions and prompts for all future Own Room posts.

In Family Archive a registered user can post or pursue a hobby in HobbyHang Out. However, Hobby Hang Out is an Outside Room, all postscontained are Green Key Level Access, registered user access, and arenot privately shared. Your Room allows a member to custom post for theirown (by default) blue key community, and with an option to post to thegreen key level, to Outside Rooms if desired.

Since Your Story is not meant to be specific to one category. It ismeant to be any story, any time, and any event. It can be from a memoryfrom a long time ago, a reflection of the present moment, or a vision ofthe future. In contrast, Your Room H8 is specific. This room may bedesignated by the member as an area of particular interest to thatmember. All posts here are related to the name of this room. Examples ofYour Room include My Music Room or My Photography Room.

Outside Rooms

People enjoy hobbies. Hobby Hang Out OH-1 is a room to share and createposts about hobbies, explore new ones, and teach others. The Hobby HangOut is a learning and exploring platform for all hobbies.

Participating members are allowed to comment and may add theirstories, or any digital media to the post. Member's wishing to add to anexisting Hobby post may choose a post icon located in the existing post.Similar to the Kitchen posting template, a posting template may be apop-up window allowing the Member to add their post to an existing Hobbypost.

Community Hall

Community Hall OH-2 is a place for members to make new friends and chatwith old ones.

Outside the House in the purple zone, Community Hall is oneof the four Outside Rooms. Posting here may always be green key leveland can be any subject starting with current local events, to globalevents. And while adherence to Community guidelines is emphasized,topics can be far-reaching and are essentially unbounded.

Community Hall may also be used by the Family Archive system to releasenews and update notifications. Members should check into Family Halloccasionally to stay current on system changes. When members fill intheir personal profiles, the system may create links in common toincrease awareness of members with similar interests.

Community Hall's posting template may provide a familiar forum-styletemplate with a subject line to input a topic for community-widediscussions. A specific search function is available for the CommunityHall room. Searches enable members to search by topic, Member ID,region, and date. Community Hall search may be unique to the room only.Members searching for: “Forum Topics Mar. 11, 2022” would get a list ofall topics created on that date. Another example is to search for:“Forum Topic—Fishing.”

Discovery Center

The Discovery Center OH-3 is open for posting to Full Member Accessmembers only; to place their green key posts for full access members andregistered users to read and comment on. This is not a room to createposts. Discovery Center encourages Members to feed it with posts thatthey already created in other rooms of their House located in theprivate green zone, Member defined-community. Members who want to sharetheir posts in the purple zone—do so—in the Discovery Center. Discoverycenter may not have a typical posting template, instead it may be achoosing template. It may present a list of all green and blue key posts(that must be converted to green key, before they can be shared). Themember may select from the list and post for the Discovery Center room.

Full Member Access members who want to see more of another member'soptional blue key discoverable posts [a posting template feature] thatare not yet put in Discovery Center, can choose them in the DiscoveryIndex, and when in the green zone also Master index. Registered users donot have access to the Master Index of another Member. In order for FullMembers to see Blue Key and discoverable posts listed in any systemIndex (e.g. see Table of Indexes below), they may ask for permission, bysending the author a “request to see” message (e.g., by selecting theauthor's username to access a pop-up email or message template. Membersreceiving the message can ignore, block or accept the request.

Future Rooms

The Future Rooms OH-4 provides a mechanism for adding future rooms whenthe need arises. Examples might be sports oriented rooms or careerspecific rooms,

Templates

Like the House theme making it easier for members to learn and use thesystem immediately, there are templates for uploading, posting andreading, located throughout the system, all of which facilitate theability to streamline the creation of quality posts (e.g., see the Tableof Templates below). Templates are optimized with the power ofbehind-the-scenes Wizards, making for an organized workflow and leadingmembers to achieve cogent posts.

In the Family Archive, templates are for everything. There may be nofreestyle posting in this platform. Templates keep consistency and carryout the rule sets for each room/category. Having this kind of conformityhelps the creative process and enables more comprehensive stories andposts. In this way, pertinent details are never overlooked. TheTemplates make the process of creating a post easy and fun.

The templates make the design of every post beautiful and consistent;conjure up relevant details; include automated system file names andindexing; include simple layout and design function; include Key Levelaccess level; and streamline the creative process to add commentary,narration, video, sound, and photos.

Posts may all include design uniformity which provides an overallconsistent look. The Posting Template is how a member creates a postanywhere in the Family Archive system. It is not just one perfunctorytemplate design but many, continuously optimized for a member and theircategories. The Posting Template may be either simple or complexdepending on the choices a member makes when initiating the PostingTemplate in a given Room.

The Posting Template may be a pop-up window initiated from a right mouseselect or from an icon located in a part of any Room in a member'sHouse. The template pop-up is the same look throughout the whole FamilyArchive. It does not change by design like other features in thecommunity. For example, when a member changes his House theme, thePosting Template remains the same. Each room may have its own PostingTemplate, initiated by choice, and housed in a pop-up frame. Thetemplate may be titled according to the Room it is started in. Forexample, in the Kitchen, when the template is called up by the memberthey may see “Kitchen Posting Template.”

Based on the Room, the posting template may have questions that aredifferent from other posting templates in other rooms. The CommunityHall, for example, may have Chat and Forum categories, whereas theFamily Hall might have family specific Newsletter choices in order tocreate a Newsletter. This choice is only available in Family Hall. EachRoom may have its own special room-related features needed to cover thesubject based on that category-room.

Without the Posting Template Members' posts might look ordinary, have nodirection, and be random. Many people are not trained in writing,conceptualizing and desktop publishing. With no guidance or consistency,the posts lose meaning and interest. Conformity is the answer to ameaningful experience in creating thoughtful posts, all with the help ofPosting Templates. The Posting Template allows members to post withsimple rules that are consistent, reliable and helpful when organizingcontent. The Wizards may be like having a real person there assistingmembers from conception to completion of posts.

There are three main types of templates used in the Family Archive, theReading Template, the Posting Template, and the Uploading Template. Allare intuitive to use but built with a robust intelligence driving thembehind the scenes.

The Posting Template is a comprehensive mechanism that asks questions,provides fillable places for answers, and provides options for everypost in process of being created. Based on the Member's response, thetemplate changes giving further questions and options to fill in by themember until completion. Creating a new post with the Posting Templatedoes not have to be completed in one session. Members are free to choosethe type and depth of the multimedia content.

An example Posting Template may request the Category (e.g. Choose from alist or Write in) and Title, and may add Narration, Music, Pictures,Video, Sound, and documents. Also, a pre-post check (before submittingpost) may include Spelling and Grammar Check, Key Level Access, Memberpassword set for key level red posts.

Inside any room including Main Living Room, the member chooses a PostingTemplate icon on the Room's UI to create a post. Selections may bepresented for the appropriate item to place in the post. The systempreferably populates the category initially, and assumes the post isrelated to the Room the post is being created.

Each post initiation may ask similar questions but may include parts andquestions specific to the Room. Outside Rooms may have forum basedtemplates and questions to shape the post appropriately. The Kitchen,for example, may ask “Do you want to post a recipe?” followed by atemplate optimized for the entry of recipes.

Most posting templates may ask what media is to accompany the post. Themember selects all that apply, and the system brings up any uploadedmedia from the Vault associated with the post. The posting template maycontinue to ask questions about the contents of the post. Once completedthe template automatically fills in information and guides the memberthrough the creation of the post, both in writing the story and inincorporating video, photos, and sound to choosing the design for thefinal look of the post.

All Eternity Clause is an option members may assign to some or all oftheir posts (e.g., via a tick box option) before posting. All EternityClause selected posts become free access content that is automaticallyposted in Discovery Center OH-3, at the time specified by the memberwhen choosing this option. These posts can be searched for in theDiscovery Room Index and seen by all Active Members and RegisteredUsers. The All Eternity Clause is normally intended to be availableafter death or perhaps under other various conditions.

Family Archive may keep all members' posts that are designated AllEternity to be available for all time or as long as the Family Archiveremains in existence.

Depending on Member choices when using the posting template, theIntelligence Wizards may help with the following features. The WritingWizard is built into the Posting Template. As the name suggests it helpsmembers to write. The Wizard may assist the member along with hints andsuggestions to move their story to completion, helping with the Who,What, Where, When, Why and How as well as structuring a beginning,middle and end in outline form.

If the member would like add to previously written work, it may be madeavailable from their list of Vault contents. The Photo Wizard (withinthe Posting Template) helps the member post a photo or set of photos toadd depth to their writing. Photo Wizard is a helpful editing tool tohelp format the picture. Formatting includes color and light enhancing,crop and white balance. The photo wizard may give examples of pictureplacement inside the member writing area.

To add a photo to any post, the member chooses [ADD] then [PHOTO] fromthe menu in the Posting Template. When the “add photo” selection is madein the Posting Template, the system assumes the photo is already storedin the Member's Vault. The Posting Template may list all the Member'sphotos (by category) contained in the Vault. All content includingphotos must be uploaded via the “Uploading Template” located in theMember's Vault. When the member chooses one or more photos, the systemmay then place the photos into an example format for viewing and editingbefore finalizing.

The photo Wizard may ask the member how to place the photos and if thephotos need further enhancement. Photo descriptions can be added at thispoint. If the member wants to add a photo that is not stored in theVault, they may initiate “The Vault Template” and add the new photo intotheir Vault.

The Video Wizard may begin by asking the member a few questions aboutthe video and placement. This wizard allows the member to enhance theirvideo by adding narration, titles and descriptions. The Video wizard maybe a video editor providing more control for the member to trim offsections of the video. Retrieving the video is from the Member storagein the Vault. The member chooses [ADD] then [VIDEO] from the menu in thePosting Template.

There are many kinds of sound files. Sound files can be used in adocument to narrate, clarify, describe, add depth, and set mood. Soundfiles could include recordings a member recorded himself at an event,such as a sporting event, or the ambiance of a restaurant or party,birds and animal sounds or nature sounds like waterfalls, rain or arunning brook. The Sound Wizard is accessed by the Posting Template'smenu system at any point the member chooses to add sound. Sound filesare stored in the Member's Vault where all media content is stored.Should the member choose to add sound that he does not have in hisVault, the member will have to upload the content first using the“Upload Template” located in the Vault. There are many commercial andfree content websites the member can use to upload music and sound filesto use in posts to their Vault.

A picture or written story is wonderful on its own but add the voice ofa narrator and some music and you have an impressive production.Therefore, adding narration to special photos in the Family Archiveallows for a richer experience with more feeling and more meaning. TheNarration Wizard is an option with all postings, available from thePosting Template menu. The Narration Wizard assumes the member haswritten and recorded a precomposed narrative and has uploaded it intotheir Vault. To add a narration to any post, the member chooses [ADD]then [NARRATION] from the menu in the Posting Template.

Each Room in the Family Archive system may have its' own Reading andPosting Template. The Uploading Template, however, is only located inthe Vault. All templates on the Family Archive system may change theirquestions and choices depending on the room category they are used in.Some questions and choices are inevitably related to the specificcategory/rooms, and therefore would apply in that room only. Templatesprovide a simplified structure to assist Members through the postingprocess. Some questions asked by the template are optional, but manyquestions and choices must be answered, otherwise the post is notconsidered completed and therefore will not be posted in the Member'sHouse.

The objective is to turn the complicated into the uncomplicated and helpthose without a writing background to create interesting stories andbeautiful looking posts.

Templates offer easy-writing fill-ins, applying basic journalisticquestions, such as: Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How? Templatesexpand the thinking process when creating posts—the questions focus onthe basics for good storytelling, assuring important details arecovered. The end result is clearer more interesting posts to share nowand for future generations.

Templates go further than journalism questions. They also streamline theprocess for adding a photos, video or a sound file, and for addingnarration. Various magazine style layout designs are another part of thetemplate process. The designs give a finished professional look to thepost.

The key levels (e.g., green for access by all members, blue for accessby the member defined community, and Red for restricted access) may be acommon aspect of all Posting templates. A “save for later” button may beshown as an option before “post now.” Save for later allows a Member towork on a post in stages, a helpful option for more detailed posts thatcannot be completed in one session.

The Uploading Template Is located in the Vault only. The Vault isaccessed from the Member's Living Room Desk. The Uploading Template ispreferably the only place that a Member is allowed to upload contentlike Photos, Video, Sound, and Documents. It is the only source forcontent when creating posts.

The Reading Template Is located throughout the system. Clicking on anyicon in any room or system desktop to see a post, bulletin, newsletteror system feature may initiate the Reading Template in a pop-up. TheReading Template has some enhanced features, like Search the systemIndex in multiple ways, to read Member's own posts or others. Search maybe by category, date, Member ID, subject and post title. Similar topicking up a printed magazine, the Reading Template always adheres tothe intended design style the post was created in. The Reading Templatekeeps track of posts that have been read and not read. Members thereforecan easily identify what they have already seen.

The Wishlist of the Family Archive system prompts and reminds Members topost a special story or event. Wishlist may start when a member enters aroom in the Family Archive system. An example is shown in FIG. 9 , whichillustrates the Wishlist initiated from the Main UI of the House, alsoknown as the Main Living Room, to make a new post, e.g., in the DiningRoom.

When a Member first logs into the system, they go to the Main LivingRoom. Again, this is the main UI and central point navigation to thewhole system. From here, as per Member preference, the Wishlist featuremay pop-up to remind Members of incomplete posts they have wanted tocreate. These are presented by category and in order of priority.Instead of navigating by the UI's con driven control panel, leading tothe room of their choice to create a new post, the Member can simplyselect the Wishlist item to be taken automatically to the room theWishlist item is located in, the posting template may automaticallyopen.

Kitchen and Travel Rooms may include a special template within theposting template. This helps posts stay on message and go faster.

Kitchen Room is an obvious place to put family recipes to share with theMember's Community. Creating a post in the Kitchen about a recipe wouldautomatically bring up the Recipe Template for entry of ingredients,pictures, measures, and instructions. The recipe template may pop-up assoon as the member chooses “Yes” to the question “Is there a recipe inthis post?”.

Travel Room may have an Icon of a passport. Clicking the passport bringsup pages of passport stamps from countries visited by the postingMember. Readers that visit the Member's Travel Room (with appropriateKey Level Access permissions) may be able to open the passport, selecton any stamp and read the post associated with that travel stamp. Inorder for a stamp (e.g. art created by the system) to be placed in thepassport, a post must be created about the adventure associated with theStamp. When a Member creates a post in Travel, the posting template forTravel asks: “Is there a foreign country that was visited for this post?” What country? Dates entered and departed?

The system may automatically generate a passport stamp with dates andassociate it with the post being created for it. Details and a storyabout the trip are then created into a post, a Magazine style layout ischosen, full story about holiday adventure may be presented to thereader when they select on a given Stamp in the Passport.

An example of the process of using a Posting Template for posting in the“DINING Room” is shown in FIG. 10 . In Phase 1, the member starts at theMain Living Room, selects a Room (e.g. Dining Room), chooses fromWishlist or selects create a post (i.e. with the Posting Template).Phase 2 includes use of the Posting Template with Vault access asdescribed above. In Phase 3, the last steps to creating the post mayinclude Title, Key Level, All Eternity Clause, Discoverable and Save forlater, or post.

An example of the process of using a Reading Template for reading in theMain Living Room, with mail alerts is shown in FIG. 11 . The memberaccesses the Living Room, selects the Mail Alert, reads mail (e.g. witha Reading Template), chooses to Reply (e.g. via a Comment Box) beforeselecting to return to the Main Living Room. The example illustrates howthe reading template works when a Mail Alert is received. In the normalsequence of things, the system may automatically show Mail Alerts andpost alerts from other Members in the defined community first. Themember can choose to read and reply to mail and or read posts in anyorder.

When the reading of either mail or posts or both are completed, theMember may choose the Back to Main Living Room icon to go back to theirmain UI. The Back to Main Living Room icon may be available in everyRoom of the House, and Outside Rooms, Desk and all Reading Templates.The straightforwardness in this is “never get lost” and navigate back tocenter whenever wanted.

An example of how the reading template works when a post alert isreceived is shown in FIG. 12 . Beginning at the top of the chart, theMember has logged in and arrives at the Main Living Room UI. In thenormal sequence of things, the system may automatically show mail alertsand post alerts from other Members in a defined community—first. Themember can choose to read and reply to mail and or read posts in anyorder.

So, the sequence for reading a post includes log in, arrive at MainLiving Room, mail or post alert (choose the post alert), read posts ifdesired, comment/reply, read more posts [search for others], select Backto Main Living Room icon to go back to the Main Living Room.

An example of how the reading template works when a Member wants to reada post anywhere in the entire Family Archive system is illustrated inFIG. 13 . Beginning at the top, the Member has logged in and arrives atthe Living Room UI. Member chooses the icon for Rooms: inside the House,Outside Rooms, or can choose to search the Index to read posts in otherMember's Houses of their member defined community, or the All MemberAccess community.

An example of the Vault uploading template process for uploading mediacontent for a future post is shown in FIG. 14 . The Vault uploadingtemplate can only upload, store and index uploads. A sequence of stepsto initiate the Vault upload template and initiate an upload of any kindis shown here in a step-by-step sequence. To use the Vault's uploadtemplate, from the Main Living Room UI, navigate to the Desk, select theVault icon and then select upload. The template opens and the Memberfollows the steps, then clicks the Living Room door icon to return tothe main room.
